Single file exclusion

Ever had a file in your site's root put there by your host? Or how about that 200Mb video file in the media directory you don't want to backup? If you need to exclude just a few files here and there but let the other files in the directory be backed up, you can use the Single File Exclusion feature of JoomlaPack.

[Note]Note

The settings on this page are defined per profile. Make sure you have selected the desired profile in the Control Panel page.

The Single File Exclusion operates in an explorer like interface. Just below the page's title you can see the path to the current directory, relative to the site's root, in bold letters. Below it, there are two tables. The left hand table displays the subdirectories of the current directory. Clicking on an entry will make that directory current. The right-hand table displays the files contained in the current directory. Excluded files are displayed in red bold type. Clicking on a file will toggle its exclusion status.

[Tip]Tip

Directories excluded by means of the Directory Exclusion option appear in the left hand table in black italicised type. You can't make these directories current because there is no point; their files will not be part of the backup anyway.
